Through the Davis Vision Plan, you're going to have access to thousands of eye care professionals across the country, so you'll be able to choose if you'd like to use a mom and pop shop, a local provider, someone that's an independent provider. We have many done in our many, vision providers in our network that are independent.

You can choose the eye wear style that you want. If you you utilize a private provider. Many of the private providers have what we call our Davis Vision Collection. These are three different collections of frames that are available to you at no cost. Bigger, fashionable names. You'll recognize brand names, and they're really a nice collection. So you can review to see if your provider has the Davis Vision Collection available. Let's take a look at how the plan works for your in-network coverage. An eye exam is available with no healthcare $0 copay, and you can do that for you and your cover. Dependents once every calendar year. Now for frames. Frames works a different way depending on where you're getting your, frames from. If you mention if you go to one of the private practice providers, as I mentioned previously, many of them have the Davis Vision exclusive collections, if you choose, frames from that collection that's covered $0 copay. So it's no out-of-pocket expenses to you for those frames. If you use Vision Works, you'll get a $200 allowance towards those frames, and then all other providers. It's a $150 allowance towards those frames, and you can get frames once a year. Now you're going to need lenses for those frames. And once a year, you can get lenses if you choose, single bifocal, tri focal or lenticular. That is a $20 copay if you upgrade, to, put some tinting or scratch resistant coating, the kids polycarbonate coating, I highly recommend that my, boy, when he was in seventh grade, got glasses and, he beat them up pretty well. So if you have a child that needs glasses, I would highly recommend, getting the, the carbonate polycarbonate covering oversize lenses as well. Those are also covered with $0 copay if you have some of the other, upgrades to your or needs specific needs to door lenses, things like progressive lenses or UV, coatings, scratch specific scratch resistant coatings beyond the base coating and then anti-reflective coatings. Those are fixed co-pays amounts. And there's a schedule that's available in the materials that you'll, have access to. You can take a look at that. That's available once a year. Now, if you are, interested in contact lenses like the collection of, frames, our providers have collections of, contact lenses. So, if your provider, when they do your evaluation, believes that the collection, contact lens within the collection is, the right fit for you, and you can utilize those, it would be covered. The fitting in the evaluation for the collection would be covered. It's a $20 copay. And then the actual contact lenses are covered at $0. So you get, your boxes of, four boxes of the contact lenses that are in the collection, for $0. If, your particular situation, the, the contacts that they're suggesting for you don't fit the collection, type of lenses, the fitting in the evaluation, you'll get a 15% discount on that. And then the actual lenses, we offer, $150 allowance on that. So, that's all available to you at, once a year, and you can either get frames, and lenses, or you can get contacts. So what most people do with that is if they want to have both, they'll, upgrade the glasses one year and get the contacts the next year back and forth. couple more things to talk about on the plan.
